Not sure I rate WJ ex LGW J service vs hassle value.
Having flown WestJet business class in their Dreamliners quite recently I can vouch that the experience is a cut above Premium on Air Transat. The price situation seems to be Transat holding up the prices on the (only) direct flight to/from GLA whereas WJ are deeply discounting their fares to/from LGW in competition with Transat. Now whither I'd want the hassle and extra journey time of changing at Gatwick compared to a 6.5hr non-stop flight - that has to be a personal choice. I think the prices on GLA - Canada routes will drop dramatically when there is some competition from WestJet in the summer months plus Air Canada from EDI and MAN.
